A friend has a Cairn terrier and it’s just the sweetest thing, and so cute. If I had a dog, I’d probably like one. Cairn terriers are like Toto in The Wizard of Oz, except my friend’s is tan, not black like Toto. Those little dogs are cute, like the white fluffy ones, as long as they’re not too yappy.
Someone in my family has a Bassett hound, and he (the dog) is very sweet. The problem with them is they smell and they drool. I love Beagles, too, except they’re high energy and I tend to not be.
I always thought I liked big dogs, but when I think about it, I like the dogs I described above, or a medium sized mutt, like a smaller Lab mix would be good, too. I love dogs but the problem is I have cats now, and the house isn’t that big. Also, dogs need to be walked which can be inconvenient in bad weather or if we’re away from the house, whereas cats are pretty much independent in that way.
